The "'''Pnomian pantheon'''" is what I've settled on calling the group of gods in the writings of [[Clark Ashton Smith]]. His gods (such as Tsathoggua) are usually grouped under the [[Cthulhu Mythos]], which I don't think is a problem; however, I find it kind of hard to talk about his work alone, so I'm going to call it the "Pnomian pantheon," after the Parchments of Pnom: a manuscript by "the chief Hyperborean genealogist as well as a noted prophet."<ref>Source: Smith, Clark Ashton. "The Family Tree of the Gods." ''The Acolyte'', no. 7, 1944, p. 9.

Again, many (if not all) of these gods are also grouped under the [[Cthulhu Mythos]], so you're obviously going to see some repetition. | Again, many (if not all) of these gods are also grouped under the [[Cthulhu Mythos]], so you're obviously going to see some repetition. | ||

It seems like everyone and their grandma has their own spelling of CAS's gods. I have no clue where to turn for authority on this. It's kind of a free-for-all. | |||
